As part of the Middle School development approval process, the Town of Claremont requires preparation of a Traffic Management Plan for Scotch College to outline the traffic management changes that have occurred to the surrounding road network. These changes include: • Construction of an underpass linking the Senior School to the Middle School and Junior School. This underpass has increased the safety of students crossing Shenton Road during the morning and afternoon traffic. The flow of traffic along Shenton Road has also benefited significantly from the addition of the underpass as traffic is now not held up when students crossed under guard control. • Formalisation of Scotch College student pick-up and set-down areas. Scotch College has recently constructed formal parking areas at the following locations: • Claremont Crescent parking area. • Gooch Pavilion parking area. • Stirling Road parking area. These locations represent the three formal areas that Scotch College encourage parents to utilise to pick-up and set-down students and each location has been selected to distribute the traffic evenly from the three major travel directions. This has removed traffic from Shenton Road and reduced congestion on the surrounding road network. Refer Appendix A for the Parking Management Plan. • Removal of the Shenton Road pick-up and set-down area. This area has been converted to a bus only embayment for use by buses to pick-up and set-down students. Parents are no longer allowed to use this area for pick-up and set-down purposes which has reduced traffic congestion on Shenton Road. • Increased parking supply. The College has increased the number of parking bays available within the College site which has helped to reduce the parking issues at some locations around the school. • Public Transport initiative. The College constantly encourages the use of public transport by students and staff to travel to and from the school. Scotch College is uniquely positioned with an adjacent train station and excellent public bus services through to the school. Scotch College achieves approximately 45% of trips to and from the school via public transport and non-private vehicles modes. • Closure of the school access near the intersection of Shenton Road and Wright Avenue has significantly reduced congestion at this roundabout during school peak hours. The above changes have resulted in a reduction in traffic congestion on the roads surrounding Scotch College. Our Ref: 14-03-034, R15Q.14 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Scotch College has engaged Porter Consulting Engineers to prepare a Traffic Management Plan of the current and proposed operations at Scotch College, including the completed upgrade of the Middle School. The purpose of this report is to examine local impacts in relation to site access, circulation and parking as part of the requirements of a development application which was submitted to the Metro West Joint Development Assessment Panels and the Town of Claremont on 23 July 2011. The report will consider the parking requirements and the overall traffic generation and management for the College development. The College generated traffic movements have been assessed on the basis of the current road network and the College’s anticipated future number of students. Throughout this report, recommendations are made to improve traffic management. The College and the Town of Claremont are committed to minimising traffic generation, congestion and parking around the school and these recommendations are intended to serve as a basis for regular reviews. 1.1 Previous Traffic Assessments The College has had a number of traffic studies undertaken prepared to assist in providing advice on traffic and transport matters relating to the Scotch College Middle School development application. The most recent reports are as follows: • Shawmac 2012, Scotch College Middle School, Travel Management Plan, Revised Report; • Shawmac 2012, Scotch College Middle School, Road Safety Audit; • Shawmac 2012, Scotch College Middle School Redevelopment, Bicycle Management Plan; and • DVC 2011, Scotch Middle School, Scotch College, Swanbourne, Traffic and Transport Assessment Final Report. Our Ref: 14-03-034, R15Q.14 2 2.0 SITE AND SURROUNDING ROAD NETWORK 2.1 Location Scotch College is located in the locality of Swanbourne within the Town of Claremont and is bounded by Shenton Road to the north, Australind Street to the west, Claremont Crescent to the south and residential houses to the east. The remainder of the College is to the north of Shenton Road and bounded by Shenton Road to the south, Stirling Road to the east, Lake Claremont to the north and Claremont residents to the west. Figure 1 shows the location of the College site within the Swanbourne locality. The College extends over the following approximate area: • 35,000m² for Senior School. • 10,000m² for Middle School. • 25,000m² for Junior School / Boarding. • 110,000m² for Sports Fields.

  • City of Subiaco Thematic History and Framework
    CITY OF SUBIACO THEMATIC HISTORY AND FRAMEWORK Prepared for the City of Subiaco KRISTY BIZZACA February 2014 THEMATIC HISTORY & FRAMEWORK OF SUBIACO ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2012, the City of Subiaco determined to undertake a Thematic History that would become the guiding document used to provide a Framework for understanding the evolution of the City’s cultural landscape in order to review the City’s Local Government Inventory. The consultant, Kristy Bizzaca, was commissioned in March 2012 to undertake this work. This Thematic History examines Subiaco's growth from pre-history, through to the foundation of the Swan River Colony in 1829 and up to the present day (2014) for the purposes of creating an overview of the main periods of development in the City. The history has been divided into eight periods with each chapter/section marking an important stage in the progress of Subiaco. In addition to providing a summary of local events and activities during these years, key factors, stories, themes and characteristics have been determined for each context. The first section identifies Aboriginal Histories of the area such as the water ways and gathering places of pre-history through to the dispossession, assimilation, institutionalisation and, more recently, reconciliation of the Post European History Period. The Colonial Period (1829 - 1870s) is the basis of the second section. It traces the early history of the place following the foundation of the Swan River Colony in 1829, encompassing the original land grants, the roads and railway routes that stimulated settlement and the establishment of the Benedictine Community at 'New Subiaco' in the 1850s.
